The government launches another call to import electric cars with zero tariffs and promote competition
21,738 units remain to be allocated, according to Esteban Marzorati, Secretary of Industry and Commerce.
If there are remaining balances in any category, they may be reassigned to applicants from the other. They may also be redistributed if a quota expires or is not used.
To access the benefit, vehicles must have a FOB price of up to 16,000 dollars. This ensures that the models are affordable and compatible with the intention to expand the use of clean technologies.
In addition, the focus is on promoting a transition toward more sustainable mobility, without affecting domestic production or market balance.
Javier Milei's government aims to generate more competition in the automotive sector so that prices decrease. The elimination of the first scale and the reduction of the second of internal taxes have already produced a partial decrease.
Now, with the new call for duty-free imports, the market is expected to have more options for electric and hybrid vehicles at competitive prices.
The national government has opened a new call to import hybrid and electric cars with zero tariffs. The measure aims to promote sustainable mobility and increase competition in the automotive sector.
So far, more than 28,000 units have been allocated out of a total of 50,000 authorized for this year. With this new call, the remaining balance can be distributed among manufacturers and legal entities.
The resolution was published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette under number 210/2025. It establishes a new call for legal entities interested in importing cars with a tariff reduction provided for in Decree 49/2025.
This decree allows the importation of hybrid and electric vehicles with zero tariffs in the Extrazone Import Duty (DIE). The measure seeks to cover the quota of 50,000 units assigned for all of 2025.
With a remaining balance unused, a third call has been made official to complete the available annual quota.
